The things they do in Canada... Multiculturalism run amok?

Montreal — Breaking a long-standing taboo of the separatist movement, Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe argued in favour Saturday of an army for an independent Quebec.

Bloc delegates are gathered in Montreal to draft policy for a Quebec independent of Canada, including proposals for an army, a free trade deal with Europe and Mexico, an immigration policy and diplomatic ties with Washington.

“Why would it be ridiculous that Quebec has an army?” Mr. Duceppe said at a news conference.

...Ohhh, I don't know... perhaps Canada should have their "poutine cannons" at the ready:

Seriously, Canada, a long-time friend of the multiculturalist movement and who by policy has long since aided and abetted Quebec separatist sentiments, is beginning to realize the fruits of these failed policies; and continues to face the prospect of a truly divided nation. Divided nation. That's a key term.

The U.S. has lessons to learn from this. Ever since its inception, the concept of multiculturalism has never served to unite, but to balkanize; and I would go so far as to say that the balkanization brought about by this insidious philosophy has been realized not as a product of misguided intentions but rather as the product of blatant design. The left's embracement of multiculturalism is but a thinly veiled ruse, designed to keep the underclass on the white limousine liberal plantation. By enabling this institutional balkanization, the Left is farming blocs of dumbed-down voters who have no chance of full participation in the American free enterprise system due to language and cultural barriers. No attempt is made to teach them about American culture or its private enterprise system; rather, every attempt is made by the left to perpetuate this institutional inequity; indeed, it is a means of keeping people uneducated and dependent on the liberal largesse as a means to eke out a meager subsistence, with the end result being another bloc of dumbed-down voters that liberals can count on to win elections.

The whole point is that what is happening in Canada, who, to this point has been happy to live in a balkanized society(though they may soon ultimately rue the day), can happen here as well. Maybe not in the next 10 years, but certainly within the next 20-25 years; especially with groups like these.

Until we confront the liberal left and win this front in the war of ideas, the disparity between the races will continue; and Dr. King's dream, rather than becoming reality, will remain that--just a dream. (h/t from Buddy Kidd at Unto the Breach)

BTW, before you go thinking that Duceppe is just a flash in the pan crackpot, it may be useful to know that he has 96.8% support among the Blog Quebecois.
